PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

        I made a joke at work today.

        I thought it was a good joke.

        It had timing, follow through, and a great punchline.

        It was making a joke based on

        the Wendy's finger thing.

        But, but, nobody laughed.

    

        There was nothing.

         Nothing but silence.

         Silence as loud as thunder.

  

       I do not take it personally though.  

       No, I don't.

       Patrick Henry

    made his famous Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death speech,

      nobody laughed either.

      Nobody said a thing.

      There was nothing but silence.
